The growth collective

Stronger support for your next step

Three accelerators join forces. Explore programs, expertise and connections to help your business grow.

NOA, Start it @KBC, and imec.istart are the three largest business accelerators for start-ups and scale-ups in Flanders. With support from VLAIO, we combine our strengths to offer complementary tracks, programs, and events for growth companies.

The Co-Founder Community

The strength of a founding team is often what convinces investors to say yes. The Co-Founder Community helps you find that team. It's a place where founders connect, speeddate monthly, and have the right conversations to find the right partner faster.

International Missions

After local preparations, you'll be guided to a specific city or region. Alongside other scaleups, you’ll explore new markets and network with local customers, partners, and investors.

New destinations and dates will be announced here.

Masterclass Internationalisation

Expanding your startup or scaleup internationally is not something that happens overnight. Our experts have decades of experience in guiding companies through their expansion abroad. After this masterclass and personalized coaching sessions, you'll be fully prepared to enter the international market.

Dates for the next edition will be announced here.
